Wikipedia is the largest, most popular online reference work, covering all areas of history and contemporary life. However, both the topics it covers and the people who edit its articles don’t reflect the diversity of the LGBTQ community - most editors and article subjects are straight, cis, white men. Let's change that. In honor of LGBTQ History Month and National Coming Out Week, join us for LGBTQ+ Wikithon 2020! This year, we'll be challenging folks to edit throughout the week, and then join us on Friday, October 8th from 2 - 3 PM for a debrief. There will also be two hours of co-working on Monday and an hour of co-working leading up to the debrief, where you can join a call and chat with other editors!
